COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm abstaining on this document, because I disagree that
Proposed Standard is appropriate. This document (and its companion)
outline an extremely intricate design without going into the - in
my opinion - necessary details to fully explain all aspects. I
appreciate that the WG intends this to be an "abstract API" that
therefore can be described at a higher level of abstraction, but
that is IMO exactly why PS is not a suitable RFC status here -
we won't be able to determine implementation conformance and hence
interoperability to this spec. If the intend is to publish an API
as a PS, it would IMO need to be described at a level where that is
feasible.
